About Me

Fine artist with specialization in relief printmaking. Other types of printmaking are often explored as well as fine art book making, paper arts, mixed media printmaking, mixed media painting, encaustic painting and other traditional arts. I often use the computer to develop digital sketches that lead to hand pulled prints and paintings. I have many arts interests and am an advocate for research and use of non-toxic materials in the arts.

Da Pope Blocks

Hierophant Buff BlockI decided to print this part a buff color-somewhere between a natural butter color and sand.

Hierophant Red BlockThe black areas will print the red parts of the card

Hierophant Blue BlockI will print this one with a blend of dark blue to black. The black area is what will print blue to black.

Hierophant Keyline Blockthis block will be printed last in black. The Red line work is what will print; except the lines in the left hand corner and left center edge. These raised lines are called "Kentos." They are so I can bump the edges of the paper up to them for registration. Registration is how I make sure each of the colors line up as I print them.
